BNY Mellon adjusts Q4 EPS to 18c after $598M litigation chargeBank of New York Mellon announced that it is adjusting its financial results for Q4 to include an additional after-tax litigation expense of $598M in anticipation of the resolution of several previously disclosed matters, including substantially all of the foreign exchange-related actions. As a result, BNY Mellon expects that there will be a significant decline in the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for legal proceedings for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2014. BNY Mellon is adjusting its Q4 results to net income of $209M, or 18c per share, in recognition of the 40c per common share charge primarily from the subsequent litigation provision offset by the previously disclosed tax benefit, net of litigation and restructuring charges. Q4 revenue was $3.7B, an increase of 2%, or a decline of 3% as adjusted.
